When I was an angsty teen, I was introduced to Gord Downie.
I was 'in the closet', I was terrified and I felt completely alone. He was the first person that I ever felt 'got me' 1000% (even though in retrospect that could have been due to cryptic lyrics). The lyrics and the music never judged me, never put me down, and always made me feel that everything was going to being alright.
Gord quite literally saved my life.
I will never ever be able to put into words what that has meant to me.
Thanks for everything over the years.
Forward, daily forward.
